Proud, Pissed, and Heartbroken at the same time
Ever since my 7 year old daughter’s cousins came and visited last summer she has wanted a Nintendo switch 2. Her cousins brought theirs last year and they had so much fun playing together and when she learned they could play each other from anywhere she was dead set on getting one. Since then she has saved every dollar she’s gotten for her birthday, holidays, and allowance. She even skipped spending money on the ice cream man. I’ll give it to her she was determined and it’s all she talks about.
She was finally in the range of having enough to make the purchase and we planned on doing it this past weekend. When she went to get her money out of her drawer it was gone. I’ve never been so mad in my life. I immediately started going thru the list of absolute shit people who could have taken it. Was it one of the two babysitters? Could it have been the maintenance man my landlord sent to fix the toilet? Was it my sister? It surely wasn’t her grandmother right? It wouldn’t be the first time she’s stolen something from me, but she has been clean for almost 8 years so surely it wasn’t her right? I don’t know who to blame other than myself at this point.
I’m a single father just trying my best to give my daughter the best life possible , it just breaks my heart that someone could do that to a little girl. She was obviously very upset when she saw it was gone, but she immediately came over to hug me and console me and tell me it was ok when she saw me visibly fuming, I’m talking steam coming out of my ears, uncontrollable shaking fuming. I love her so much she’s got such a pure loving soul and I’m so grateful to have her.
Going forward I’m going to be very wary of anyone that steps foot in my house, family or not, everybody is a piece of shit in my eyes, stealing from a little girl. I’m not in a position financially to go out and buy her one at the moment but I’m looking into a payday loan or something to make it happen. She did nothing wrong and doesn’t deserve what happened. People please, don’t steal from kids, it’s pretty fucked up
Rant Over
ETA: through some investigation I’ve figured out that it was indeed my mom. I’m not even mad that she has relapsed, she can do whatever she wants with her pathetic excuse for a life, she will no longer be a part of ours.
